Jordan Bell traded to Golden State, according the Woj.

Of course the Dubs get Bell

 

[DragonSword]

Sources: Golden State acquired Jordan Bell from the Bulls for cash. A lot of it.

WOW


thats all that organization fucking thinks of.......they had an amazing steal in jordon bell and they fucking give it to golden state to just make them even more ridiculous

 

[Frozenprince]

How the fuck is the league gon na just let the Dubs get Jordan Bell?

 

[Brinbe]

And of course the Dubs get a steal in Bell. Rich get richer!

 

[beat]

Bob Myers really is the #SwindleGawd.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Supposedly Warriors Paid 3.5 mil for Bell.

 

[LionPride]

I didn't get to say this but uh...


BITCH I'M FRANK MASON

 

[Mrbob]

Wait what the trade was for cash???

 

[theWB27]

Nah, but I did expect to go into the season an improved team. So far.. we are not. Who the FUCK is gonna score on this team?? Lopez and JC? We are fucked.

But why are you so gung ho on trading away assets on a dude who may come anyway in fa? You can then try and leverage that same talent you would've trade for Pg13 to get rid of another contract and go after another fa?

You'd give someone 5 bucks for a free burger just to get it 5 minutes earlier?

This is 1983

 

[DragonSword]

yes, this is where teams start dumping picks for straight cash.


$3.5mil is the high point this year

 

[Kevtones]

Bell is so perfect for the Warriors man they are set up so good

He can run the court, block shots and rebound, get zaza off the court

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ewWLJtmH9iM

Blocking Jackson (4th overall pick a couple times) and Mason (35th pick) a couple times en route to 9 blocks in the Elite 8 last year.

 

[Miracle]

We have the Big Baller Brand. We gonna be in the playoffs.

R-E-L-A-X. We gonna be ok.

 

[RedAssedApe]

lol sorry bulls fans

 

[Josh5890]

As a Bulls fan I apologize for my team's incompetence

 

[Crimson_Gold]

As a Bulls fan I apologize for my team's incompetence

They make Phil proud

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Frank Mason hit that big shot to beat Duke early in the season.

I think I hate him.


No, actually, dude's pretty good.

But on the other hand

 

[BlackGhost]

Wait what the trade was for cash???

Cavs bought a pick last year. Took pg Kay Felder

 

[Stabby McSter]

who the fuck keeps giving us second round picks lmao

iirc we bought the pick that ended up being pat mccaw too

 

[Mrbob]

I think I'm officially defecting to the Bucks now. Unless Lakers fans will let me join their big baller team.

 

[sf2fanatic]

yes, this is where teams start dumping picks for straight cash.

Chump change for Warriors.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Hero of game 9 last night, too.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Chump change for Warriors.

Probably used some of the money they got from Game 5 😂

 

[grandjedi6]

I see the Bulls notoriously cheap owner continues to be himself

 

[jmizzal]

WOW

Bulls need money to buy out Wade and Rondo lol

 

[DragonSword]

Bulls need money to buy out Wade and Rondo lol

they are both on one year contracts


no point




at this point.....I wonder who is worse at actually managing


The Bears

or


the Bulls in that city lol

 

[spyder_ur]

I have a feeling Crowder gets traded before the start of the season and if they get Hayward/George that means Yabusele probably spends another year in Asia/Europe.

I agree. I think this clears the way for Crowder as a major part of a deal once FA shakes out. I don't think you can really have too many wings in the NBA these days. They do have to add big depth somehow, but that wasn't going to be solved tonight.

I'm really happy with the Ojeleye pick.

 

[Mrbob]

I'm legit fuming about this lol. The Bulls finally got a break, made a good draft move in rebuild mode and they toss it away for cash.

 

[Fjordson]

Holy fuck, we were able to buy Jordan Bell?

Meyers the swindle gawd does it again.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I'm legit fuming about this lol. The Bulls finally got a break, made a good draft move in rebuild mode and they toss it away for cash.

three and a half million united states dollars, though

whats more amazing is


The Warriors got even better..........on draft night

ON DRAFT NIGHT!

 

[mjp2417]

I see the Bulls notoriously cheap owner continues to be himself

Now that's not fair, he definitely didn't cheap out on Dwyane Wade

 

[Crimson_Gold]

But the warriors came calling. Do you know what that means? 😥😥😥

 

[JABEE]

I don't know how you can trade picks for cash. Every team in the NBA should be as competitive as possible. The only concern should be cap space.

 

[Forceatowulf]

But why are you so gung ho on trading away assets on a dude who may come anyway in fa? You can then try and leverage that same talent you would've trade for Pg13 to get rid of another contract and go after another fa?

1. Acquiring his Bird rights.
2. Scared he might like the team he's traded to and decides to stay (Celtics / Spurs / Cavs / Rockets biggest concern.)
3. Don't give a fuck about losing either JC or Randle or these picks especially if I get PG13 for it and still have money left over to sign a max FA to pair with George.

 

[Fjordson]

who the fuck keeps giving us second round picks lmao

iirc we bought the pick that ended up being pat mccaw too

We did. Like $2.4 mill from the Bucks.

This could be another great steal. And at a position of need. Whew.

I don't know how you can trade picks for cash. Every team in the NBA should be as competitive as possible. The only concern should be cap space.

Also comes down to roster space sometimes. A team may have too many picks to accommodate them all. Or they may be saving a roster spot for free agency.

 

[RedAssedApe]

guess anibogu should have stayed in school

guess anibogu should have stayed in school

Been reading there's real concern about his knees.

 

[LyleLanley]

If the Warriors are offering you the most money they're allowed to give up in a trade maybe you should consider why that is.

 

[darkside31337]

If the Warriors are offering you the most money they're allowed to give up in a trade maybe you should consider why that is.

At least the Bulls got a tangible asset for 38. A lot of tangible assets.

All Orlando got for 35... was a future 2nd round pick. FML

 

[Frozenprince]

Wow the Knicks made a pick that isn't terrible.

I'm stunned.

 

[JABEE]

Sixers doing the same thing. Terrible

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Wow the Knicks made a pick that isn't terrible.

I'm stunned.

They'll trade him for a bus pass.

By all accounts they offered JC/Randle/Late 1sts package and were turned down. Not sure what else you want them to do. They rightly refused to part with Ingram or the 2nd pick.

Bulls front office gonna need coke for months after tonight

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Jazz did really good!!

 

[darkwing-buck]

Glad to see LA is building around Lonzo as of rn with their picks.

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Bulls front office gonna need coke for months after tonight

How much $3.5 million buys worth of coke?🤔

 

[Frozenprince]

How much $3.5 million buys worth of coke?🤔

I'd answer this but I'm pretty sure It'd get me put on a watchlist.

The answer is a lot, but not as much as you'd think.
